XENOVORE
Defend the homeland. Lose yourself.
A Modest Proposal
"I grant this food will be somewhat dear, and therefore very proper for landlords, who, as they have already devoured most of the parents, seem to have the best title to the children."
"The number of souls in this kingdom being usually reckoned one million and a half, of these I calculate there may be about two hundred thousand couple whose wives are breeders."
– Jonathan Swift, 1729
The Foreign Horde Approaches
Defend the Border. Shove. Deport.
Or there's another option: CONSUME.
Anyone feel like a little Mexican tonight…?
XENOVORE is a game of cellular displacement for 2-4 players.
The only way to determine the behavior of the system is to run the simulation.
Stephen Wolfram, A New Kind of Science
THE PURE EAT THE IMPURE
UNTIL NO ONE IS PURE
The Sorites Paradox manifests in gameplay. Identity erosion occurs incrementally.
Simple rules. Complex outcomes. No control.
You are what you eat. And now you are edible.

Position the guards. Defend.
OPTION B: DEPORT
Push them back across the border.
OPTION C: CONSUME
You'd never eat your neighbor. You'd never eat the family dog. But some foreign take-out?
